Accompanying the body there is a small envelope labeled "teeth from near victim's head". It contains several bloody teeth and fragments that belong to the victim, demonstrated by placement into sockets. The teeth are photographed and released with the body.

Examination of the hands shows a single hair stuck in blood on the left hand. It is preserved as evidence. The fingernails are also clipped and preserved as evidence.

One of the CTV posters did look at the autopsy photos to see if he could learn anything about this senseless crime. This is his thoughts - a laymen's interpretation of what he saw.Link to Blog describing the Autopsy Photoshttp://autopsyphotos.blogspot.com

Why this blog?

I started following this case from the moment that I heard about it. I would check the local news sites everyday to see if there was any progress in the case. I was disappointed and disheartened when the media reported Jason was having a relationship. I couldn't believe another husband would choose the same path as Scott Peterson. I went to the Court TV message boards to see if there was anything to learn that wasn’t in the media. I went there thinking Jason was guilty.

I started checking the board every so often for anything new that wasn’t being reported. I also wanted to know what others were thinking in regards to what happened to Michelle. There is so much information that is not known to the public. This information comes from so called "insiders". These are friends or someone who knows a friend of Michelle and Jason's. At some point “rumors” these insiders were reporting became known as “fact.”

I decided to start researching where some of the “rumors” originated and how much weight they might deserve. I started this blog to keep track of the facts and insider information I compiled. I am a little obsessive compulsive with a need for organization. My intent was to collect the information and organize it for reference purposes. I tried to be as objective as possible.

On occasion I have neglected a few things because of this case. It affects me because I am a mom and it makes me extremely sad that Cassidy will not have her mom there for her as she grows up.

At this point I am no longer thinking Jason is absolutely guilty. I have read all of the speculation as to why he is guilty and there are too many “holes” and unknowns in the theories and I am not there yet. There are many with statistics on their side that will disagree with me. I am still on the fence and eventually I will have to jump to one side. I need more data to make that leap.

I am nobody. I am just a mom that became interested in what happened to Michelle. I don’t pretend to be a writer so I apologize if I am not eloquent or grammatically correct. I just have the desire for Michelle’s killer to be brought to justice. For Cassidy’s sake I hope it is not Jason. For her I have to give Jason the benefit of the doubt. I have no vested interest in him personally – only the desire that Cassidy have at least one of her parents to guide her through life. And if he is guilty I hope he is punished to the fullest extent of the law.
